Great article, Jerseyman, and a keen observation on your part in figuring that "Swimming-Over Point" was the likely site of the drownings that have long been attributed to the Batsto River at Quaker Bridge.

You sure do get around, Kevin. Great photos as usual.

Kevin, On pg. 34 of Heart of the Pines, John Pearce writes, "It was during this time of prosperity that Samuel Richards also built two forges on the rivers to the east of of Atsion. One of these was on the Atsion river about two and a half miles downstream. Here he actually built locks to raise...

Good thoughts, Kevin. The hand crank theory makes good sense.

Definitely interested, Mike. And thanks for keeping me in mind, Chris. I have a few kayaks to spare for the trip.

Al, there is a similar ditch located at "the Horseshoe" near the Forks of the Mullica: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.633159014678384&lng=-74.65235710144043&z=17&type=h&gpx= I've been stumped by this. The ditch runs along the edge of the floodplain along the upland at the interior of...

That's quite the romantic imagination you have there, Alfie. But those ditches are curious, aren't they? Aside from the barrow pit on either side of the 1808 Road, every ditch in the swamp was most likely excavated for logging, but these ditches along the bottom of the dunes don't quite make...

The river will have the final say every time.

Kevin, I don't recall offhand where I got the information that there was a forge at the locks. I'll look into it and get back at ya.

German, When I visited the Tuckerton Seaport, I saw the sign next to Mordecai's homestead that states he had excavated a cave in a nearby gravel bank. I'm wondering where they got that information? Oral tradition? If I recall correctly, Leah Blackman claimed that the Andrews brothers, like...

Al, do you know exactly where this 12 ft void is/was?

There is a cave cut into a clayey sandstone formation at the bottom of the Mullica near Mordecai's Landing.

You spelled Hampton incorrectly. :D

Thank you, Jerseyman! The sign on Carranza Road states that the mill was on the "Green Limb Branch". I'm wondering where this creek is and what name it goes by today.... Also, is it true that there were two forges associated with Hampton Furnace, one of which was located on Robert's Branch of...

Has anyone here found anything out about this "Tunking Mill"??

Great movies. One of the greatest movie trilogies of all time. I like 2 also, but not as much as 1 and 3. But you have to admit that the scenes with the old Biff and young Biff interacting are great.

Ha! Awesome.

Them is some good lookin fish there, rednek. Good post. I'm going to push the like button.

Horse dung! A steamy pile of horse dung, I say! What's the matter with you anway?

Attaboy, Jerseyman. We need to keep that SpungMan in check once in awhile!
